Shadow Agent for Vodafone Business UC app integration

Shadow Agent turbo charges Vodafone Business UC with enhanced functionality at a fraction of the cost of call center seat licenses. The client adds many of the features that customers demand including disposition codes, forced and voluntary account codes, auxiliary codes, presence override and powerful local Heads-Up Display (HUD).

Disposition, Activity, or Incident Codes

Shadow Agent allows users to tag calls with disposition codes or labels that indicate the call type, reason for the call, the outcome of the call, and the required action. The metrics can later be dissected to provide better insights into product stability, customer experience or resource allocation.

Account Codes

When using the built-in dialer, Shadow Agent can restrict outbound calls to a range of verifiable account codes (sometimes called client/matter numbers or authorization pin). Failure to enter a valid code will not allow the call to proceed. Account codes are generally used in professional environments that want to bill for their time spent on calls.

Auxiliary Codes & Wrap Mode

Auxiliary Codes (or AUX codes) are used to track the time a RingCentral user has deliberately chosen to not accept calls. Shadow Agent allows for customizable AUX codes such as On Break, Bathroom Break or On Lunch. Timed states can automatically be set for a user after a call. These states are known as Wrap or After Call Work modes.

Enhanced Heads-Up Display Dashboard, Leader boards and Presence Override

Shadow Agent includes a powerful dynamic local Heads-Up Display (HUD) that can be configured to show specific queues, departments, or users. Real time leader boards can highlight user or agent activity and performance. Queue dashboards show real time calls waiting, in progress or service levels. User administrators (or queue managers) have the ability to change the presence status of their teams. This is especially important when users forget to login/out of specific queues or DND states.

Call Handling and Expected Wait Time

Shadow Agents offers several call control features such as cherry pick VIP calls, call back options for abandoned or VM calls, intuitive barge/listen features, auto-log off inactive agents. Shadow Agent can also report the expected wait time for callers into UC call queues.

Historical Enterprise Analytics and Call Queue Reporting

Shadow Agent tightly integrates with Shadow All In One Analytics (see link: https://link.telecost.com/shadowa1) for account level enterprise reporting, billing integration and real time dashboards.  

Support for RingCX

Customers can now view leaderboards, presence and queue KPIs for RingEX and RingCX. Calls between platforms can also be reviewed by administrators in a graphical cradle-to-grave display.
